Hi,

 

My MOBO has an ethernet port for 1Gbps, however I recently added an Asus XG-C100C for 10Gbps. While I can connect to it , I seem to have an issue. I rebooted my server and suddenly I couldn't connect to it, so I connected the ethernet cable to the MOBO ethernet port and I could connect to it. I think it's got something to do with a bad setup of the IPs, though I'm a bit of a noob so I dan't tell what's wrong. Any help is appreciated.

No, what you did was to create an bond in active backup mode but only put just ONE card into these bonds.

Now, instead of creating a failover configuration, you have TWO bonds with ONE card each (and the same settings).

This is just russian roulette... every boot the dice will be thrown.

 

Either put both cards into the same bond ("Member of Bond: eth0,eth1"), or disable bonding completely (it does not make much sense in a home environment) and create "network rules" to define the 10G card as eth0 (and disable eth1).

 

Thanks for the reply! However, when I go click on

Only a greyed out option appears

 

 

 

 

Regarding bonding mode, which one should I use? I tried reading the documentation but I can't figure it out

the grey stuff is correct. you first have to free eth1 from bond1 to make it available for bond0

But, as I have already said, you do not need any bonding...

 

I apologise, I'm a bit of a noob in this and I know I'm asking stuff repeatedly or that is basic. Please bear with me.

 

I set "enable bonding" on both to "No" . After this I rebooted (got a message that asked me to) and I couldn't connect to 10Gbps but I could to 1Gbps. If I don't need bonding I assume this is the way to do it, but I'm sure I need to do something else to be able to connect to my card not the MOBO. Current state of the settings in the image.

 

I still see a red message in interface extra that I don't know if it's relevant.

No Problem, I'm used to noobs the last 40yrs already 🙂

 

First of all, you still have bonding enabled on eth1. TURN IT OFF

Then, you have given both cards addresses within the 192.168.1.X net, thats wrong. Either chose a different net for eth1 or turn this card OFF completely (You dont need it, believe me). Best click on "Port Down" for eth1, this will disable the card completely and it does not harm anymore.

 

Interface rules are ok already ("atlantic" is already eth0 thats fine) (btw you have set your comments wrongly eth1 is "1G" and eth0 is "10G")

 

 

Thank you! I think I got it, I'll show you the image just in case:

How do I choose a different net? Would 192.2.44 Work?

yeah, but because the port is disabled now, it does not change a thing (also, since there are no computers and not even a cable attached to that card, it does not make any sense)

 

To "clean" up, I would disable bridging on eth1, set address mode to "automatic" (DHCP) and delete every manual setting (address, gateway etc.

The warning at the extras should disappear then too.

 

(Maybe even disable the card in the bios so it does not show up at all anymore)

 

Thank you for your help!
